Hi MikeGC, all vehicle speedos are aprox 2 mph out, satnav will show correct mph, this is why when the police check on speeding they allow 2 mph difference

.
I believe that the speedo on my current QQ is roughly 10% out, meaning that displayed speed on the speedo is 44 but on a satnav (e.g. Waze) it is 40mph.
I do tend to drive to the figure on the speedo though, even when I am being overtaken in a zone covered by average speed check cameras.
It would probably have annoyed me in my 30’s but as a pensioner I’m not really that bothered
